In a surprising turn of events, football legend David Beckham has made a new revelation that many are interpreting as a subtle snub to Prince Harry.
The latest development comes amidst ongoing speculation about strained relations between the former England captain and the Duke of Sussex.
During a recent interview, Beckham openly expressed his admiration for the British royal family,
particularly Prince William and Princess Catherine.
The former Manchester United star shared his thoughts on their dedication to public service and how they continue to uphold royal traditions. Beckham praised their work, calling it “inspiring” and “a model of what modern royalty should represent.”
Notably absent from his remarks was any mention of Prince Harry, who, along with Meghan Markle, famously stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California. This omission has fueled speculation about the rumored fallout between the Beckhams and the Sussexes, reportedly stemming from allegations of leaked information.
Beckham’s admission comes after years of speculation about his close ties to the royal family. While the football icon and his wife Victoria Beckham were once seen as friendly with Harry and Meghan, the couple’s attendance at the Sussexes’ wedding in 2018 appears to have been the high point of their relationship.
Royal watchers have noted that Beckham’s comments align with his longstanding loyalty to Prince William. As an ambassador for the Duke of Cambridge’s Heads Up mental health initiative, Beckham has frequently appeared alongside William to promote awareness of mental health issues in sports.
The Sussexes, meanwhile, have faced criticism for their recent public appearances and controversial statements, which have reportedly strained their relationships within both royal and celebrity circles.
Neither David Beckham nor Prince Harry has commented directly on the speculation surrounding their relationship. However, Beckham’s latest remarks are being interpreted by many as a subtle affirmation of where his loyalties lie.
As public interest in royal dynamics continues to grow, this revelation is sure to add more fuel to the ongoing debate about where the Sussexes stand in the broader world of celebrity and royalty.
